| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within the field, a civic oak wreath (corona civica) tied at the base, flanked on either side by a laurel branch, the whole forming a wreathed cartouche enclosing the central legend. The corona civica, Rome's highest military honor awarded to Augustus by the Senate for saving Roman citizens, serves as the primary design element. The composition is rendered in a bold, emblematic style typical of Augustan monetary propaganda, with the laurel branches framing the wreath symmetrically. No portrait appears on this face; instead the honorific imagery stands alone as a powerful political statement. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The large senatorial monogram S C (Senatus Consultum) dominates the central field in bold, deeply struck letters, affirming the Senate's authority over bronze coinage. A circular legend surrounds the design, naming the moneyer responsible for the issue. The reverse composition is clean and authoritative, consistent with the Augustan monetary reform's emphasis on legibility and institutional prestige. The lettering is rendered in square, well-spaced Roman capitals arranged around the periphery of the flan. |

The moneyer P. Licinius Stolo held his tresviri aetere argento auro flando feriundo appointment under Augustus during the coinage reform of 18–17 BC, when the emperor systematically restructured Rome's bronze and brass currency after decades of monetary chaos following the civil wars. The reintroduction of large orichalcum sestertii as a regular denomination was itself a deliberate Augustan innovation — the alloy had no meaningful precedent in earlier Roman coinage at this scale.
Licinius Stolo is otherwise obscure; no other contemporary record of him survives beyond his moneyer issues.
